And there you have it! 2012 in review. As you can tell, it was a crazy busy and full year with all sorts of major life events – moving, getting married, finishing my masters degree and dietetic internships – and in between the major life events were all sorts of trips and daily adventures, too. Of course, it wasn’t all good – no year ever is – but in stressful times I focused on staying active and spending time with those who really matter in my life. As far as I’m concerned, you should never underestimate the power of a good workout or a long talk with a best friend.

Wow what a great year! I almost became a registered dietician but then ended up going back to my “original” plan of being a math teacher. Now I wonder if I should have done the dietician thing after all. I
How long did it take you?

PS. I’ve signed up for a run in Pentagon City on Feb. 10th, it’s a 5K called “Love the Run you’re with”. Ha ha, cute title, right? Anyway, they give out blankets instead of shirts, how cool! Thought I’d let you know about that one in case you were interested.

so my boyfriend is interested in doing a Spartan race this spring. I am considering it. I have never, ever done anything like it nor really have wanted to, but 2013 I am trying to push myself out of my comfort zone! I know you guys did the tough mudder… thoughts on the Spartan race and how crazy those kind of races are?

Those type of races are super fun! Do it. The Tough Mudder is the super crazy long and intense version… I think the Spartan is usually a 5k, right? I’ve done a bunch of similar 5k to 10k distance mud runs and they’re a blast – just enjoy getting dirty and if an obstacle really, really scares you, you can always skip it.

Congratulations on a truly fabulous year! The biggest and best part of 2012 for me was marrying the love of my life on July 22, 2012. It’s hard to believe almost six months have passed! I hope 2013 brings you all the happiness you can imagine.
